Chromogranin A (CgA) is a protein that is produced by cells in the endocrine system, including cells in the pancreas, adrenal glands, and other organs. CgA is often measured in the blood as a marker of neuroendocrine tumors, which are rare tumors that can develop in a variety of organs.
Chromogranin-A, Plasma test is typically ordered to help diagnose and monitor neuroendocrine tumors, a type of rare cancer that can develop in various organs of the body, including the pancreas, lungs, and digestive system. The Chromogranin A, Plasma test may be ordered by a healthcare provider if a person is suspected of having a neuroendocrine tumor, or if they have been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor and their healthcare provider wants to monitor the tumor's growth or response to treatment. The test may also be ordered if a person has symptoms that suggest a neuroendocrine tumor, such as flushing, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.

Chromogranin A (CgA) is a protein released from neuroendocrine cells. These are cells that release hormones against signals from the nervous system. They are found in many organs throughout our body.
Neuroendocrine cells, and the endocrine glands that they are found in, can cause a variety of tumors, both benign and malignant like carcinoid tumors, insulinomas, small cell lung cancers, pheochromocytomas, medullary thyroid carcinomas, some pituitary tumors, and neuroblastomas. This test can be utilised to help in detection, diagnosis, or monitoring response to treatment or relapse of neuroendocrine tumors, specifically carcinoid tumors.
Carcinoid tumors, a division of neuroendocrine tumors, are slow-growing noncancerous or cancerous masses. These form mainly in the digestive tract (stomach, pancreas, small intestine, colon, appendix, rectum) or the lungs.
